HME has announced the DX300, a wireless headset system designed for football coaches and audio professionals requiring two-channel operation. Featuring a small and lightweight beltpack, the DX300 allows hands-free, simultaneous communication for up to 20 users.

The headset was designed as an affordable, reliable system that sets up in minutes and can be expanded from the basic five-user system to accommodate up to 20 users. A four-wire I/O base interface allows pro audio users to connect to external hardwired intercom systems.

The system is designed to travel easily from venue to venue without concern for outside interference. It can operate on either electrical AC power or batteries. Dual-slot diversity antennas detect the strongest signal for clear, uninterrupted conversations.

Users can mix and match two types of communicators, a beltpack or all-in-one wireless headset. The BP300 beltpack weighs 7.4oz with battery and pouch.

The DX300 comes with a four-port battery charger and rechargable lithium-ion batteries that can be charged in less than three hours even while all communicators are in use during an event. Operating in the license-free, 2.4GHz frequency band, DX300 ensures secure, encrypted communications without the need for frequency coordination.

The FAA’s current rules and proposed ban on flight over people, requirement of visual line of sight and restriction on nighttime flying, effectively prohibit broadcasters from using UAS for newsgathering. ~ WMUR-TV General Manager Jeff Bartlett
